FINDING FAITH IN DEAD SITUATION
Faith without work is dead, and hence they must go together.
Knowing that God wants it for me, it became a settled issue in my heart. I need
not worry anymore because God’s word is final. I believe and trusted Him to do
that which only He can do. When i was asked about my admission, I simply replied, "it’s still on the way". I put my faith into work by making inquiries about
the admission list; why my name was not there having met the requirements for
admission. A professor at the department told me I was at fault for not submitting
my transcript though I consulted a lot of people before taking that decision, but
now it seems as if all those that advised me not to submit it are now quiet. I didn’t
relent, I kept making inquiries after I found out that there were others that didn’t
submit but were offered admission. I met another professor that directed to a
particular office within the department for assistance. I was told it was an
error on the part of the department, and that I was not the only one affected.
They assured me that it will be rectified and another list will be released as
soon as possible. After a couple of months, another list was released but my
name was not in that list as well. I went back to the school for clarification.
When I got to the department, they told me that the problem is not from them.
They advised me to go the department of postgraduate studies to find out why.
At the department of postgraduate studies, I was directed from one office to
the other until I could find someone that gave me a reason. The lady I met told
me there was an omission in their system. I smiled and said, ‘glory to God’.
The major reason I kept going back to the school was because I knew I ought to
be given admission not because I met the requirements but because God has
settled it. I could have given up on the whole admission the first time my name
was omitted but because of God’s report I had to believe that there’s something
that can still happen. Even in dead situations, God is still God.
Grace – God’s unmerited favour which He gas dished out to
every one of us, qualifies us beyond man’s understanding. I had a first-hand
experience of God’s grace. Irrespective of the people I came in contact with,
nothing would have been possible if not for His grace; it's grace that kept me going, that
took me to the right office, which allowed me to meet them on their good day. I
know for a fact that nothing can stop God’s plan for us.
Glorious God Who Does Marvelous things,We Are Nothing Without His Grace.
